I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would read it again. The book’s use of journal entries to tell its story helps the reader connect to Charlie and it adds to the realism. Its relatable and complex characters allow you to feel the same emotions the characters are feeling.
This book displays a wide range of emotions. I like this book for its portrayal of teenage life, Complex characters, and thought-provoking commentary from Charlie. Charlie lives out the dreams and nightmares of a teenager throughout the book. He spends a copious amount of time with them and becomes close with both of them. He attends a recreation of The rocky horror picture show that Patrick, Sam, and company do. Soon Charlie finds himself becoming friends with Patrick, Sam, and their group of friends. This all changes when he meets two seniors named Patrick and Sam. For the first few days of school, Charlie doesn't talk to anyone and he finds himself observing people more. The book follows Charlie, a freshman in high school. This aspect of the book allows the characters to feel real because in the real world most things aren't right or wrong but in a grey area where there are positives and negatives to almost everything. The book has conflicts in which you may not agree with the main character Charlie and his friends. This quote applies to the reading of this book. The main character’s teacher says “Try to be a filter not a sponge” before assigning The Fountainhead. The novel, The perks of being a wallflower is about many things and while it has a theme, the book is more of an account of the experiences of the main character. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.Ī years-long #1 New York Times bestseller, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults and Best Book for Reluctant Readers, and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teen readers (or "wallflowers" of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.Book Review by Nelson B. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. First dates, family drama, and new friends. The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks follows observant "wallflower" Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. Now a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern classic. Read the cult-favorite coming of age story that takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory.
